Me: I'M SO SORRY!

Ikuto: Why are you shouting?

Me: Because I took so long to update!*flails arms around frantically*

Ikuto: You did? Huh, I didn't notice.

Me: Why you little...*mumbles something about needing an alibi*

Amu: I'm glad you're back!

Me: and that's why you're my favorite! Anyway, Nagihiko! Rima! Disclaimer, please!

Nagi and Rima: Nekogirl017 and prisoner of readers don't own Shugo Chara in anyway what-so-ever.

Me: Gee, thanks for the reminder. *goes into emo corner*

CHAPTER 4

AMU'S P.O.V.

I just finished cleaning a room on the twenty-fourth floor, when I remembered I still had to get Tsubasa his candy bar. I might as well get it now since there's a vending machine just around the corner.

Just as I rounded the corner, I heard voices coming from the small room; but why do they sound familiar? Wait, I know those voices. Without thinking, I whipped around the corner and gasped.

"Akane? Yoru?!"

What on earth are they doing here?! Wasn't Tsubasa supposed to be watching them?! Oh, he is so going to get it! Are they bugging a guest? Oh, that's it! They are so going to get it-

"Amu?"

I froze. Please, don't tell me that's who I think it is.

"Ikuto?" I said shocked.

His surprised expression, however, quickly faded into that annoying smirk of his.

Oh, how I would love to slap that stupid smirk off of his face. (A.N. me: Amu! how could you say that?! Amu: WTF?! You're the one who wrote it!)

"Hinamori Amu~? Long time no see, Strawberry," he said with his smirk only growing larger and his eyes twinkling in amusement. Shrink, you stupid smirk, shrink!

"Oh for the love of God, would you stop calling me that already-"

"MOMMY! You know Tsukiyomi Ikuto?!" Crap. "Uh...Ahaha." I smiled, hoping to dodge the questions being thrown at me.

"Mommy, huh? So how come you didn't tell me you had kids or got married for that matter?" I just barely caught the last part. Why would he care whether or not I'm married? I quickly pushed that thought aside and tried to think of a way out of this.

"Mommy~, can we please have Tsukiyomi-san over for dinner?" Please! **! No way out! No way out! HELP ME!

"Ok...I-I don't see why not." What am I saying?! I took a few deep breaths to keep myself from freaking out.

I am doomed.
- xXx-
I opened the door to my apartment, and the kids immediately pushed past me, rushed to the living room and instantly turned on the TV. Of course.

I sweat dropped.

"Sorry about that," I said. "They kind of do this every day..." He chuckled, "It's ok. I don't mind. So… What's for dinner?" I was taken aback. I swear this man never fails to surprise me. "I'm not sure, but I need to make a phone call real quick. You can just go sit with the kids over there," I said pointing to the living room coach. He simply walked over and sat down, without a word.

I walked over to the house phone in the kitchen and dialed the number. I'd use my cell phone, but since I found out earlier that the battery died, it needs to charge.

"Hello?" A voice answered on the other end.

"Hi! It's me, Amu. You know the women whose children you were in charge of taking care of today?" I said with a fake sweet voice. I could almost feel him cringe. Good!

"Oh..Hi, Hinamori-san! Um..Yeah..About that..I SWEAR I HAD A REALLY GOOD REASON TO LEAVE!"

"Uh huh, and what's that?" I said in the same tone as before.

"Uh, well...You see I got a call and-" I cut him off

"AND WHAT?! WHAT REASON DO YOU HAVE FOR LEAVING MY KIDS ALONE AND LETTING THEM WONDER AROUND THE HOTEL UNSUPERVISED?! HUH?!"

"Uhh-"

"I don't want to hear it! Just don't let it happen again, or so help me, I'll kill you, GOT IT?!"

"Yes" He barely whispered. Ok, maybe, I was a little harsh; but that doesn't change anything! I'm still **. I sighed.

"Goodbye, Tsubasa"

"Bye," he said in a weak whisper. I really should apologize tomorrow, and with that, I hung up.

Now, time to start dinner.
- xXx-

Me: So what cha' think?

Ikuto: Does it really matter as long as the readers like it?

Me: YES!

Amu: I liked it! Too bad, Ikuto was in this chapter.

Ikuto: Awww. Amu-koi~ I'm hurt!

Amu: Good!

Me: Um, guys?

Amu and Ikuto: Yeah?

Me: The thingy?

Akane and Yoru: TOMORROW'S THE END OF THE WORLD!

Me: OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! No, it's not! Amu! control your kids!

Amu: Make Ikuto do it.

Me: Ikuto! Do the thingy!

Ikuto: *sigh* Fine. R&R or she'll get whiney.
